sodhi67,
Welcome. First, make sure you have at least the yellow glow plug controller and the matching yellow label control box. Then, make sure you have the additional grounding harness installed. Good batteries and clean all electrical connections and grounds. Finally, make sure you are...
If you get one of these trailers, make sure that these are addressed prior to using.
•MWO 9-2330-392-20-1 17 Aug 2001 modification is to provide a procedure for the installation of an upgrade for the original equipment surge brake actuator. It is replaced by an improved cast surge brake...
This is one of the latest serp setups for the 6.5TD in the hmmwv's. Also, the water pump has to be a reverse rotation unit (not the standard wp) This one does not have the ac setup but just requires the left bracket to be changed. Dual generator (12/24vdc) are nice to have. The 12vdc is used...

M1101 & M1102 Light Tactical Trailer
The Light Tactical Trailer for general cargo is designated by two model numbers, the M1101 and M1102, depending on its loading by weight. That is, there is no physical difference between the M1101 and the M1102 models, other than the...
papaydsailor,
There rear doors are military issue and the front I built using some parts from the rears. Basically, you buy two sets of rear doors, keep the best pair for the rear and strip the other set to populate the front. If you are interested, pm me and I will give you a contact that has...
Thanks Chris! I enjoy the thrill of the build and this one was no exception. Since this hmmwv, I brought up to snuff my M813A1 that is in my avatar and my M35A2C. I also upgraded my other hmmwv with high back seats, half doors and a new top!
Go to the post link above in ida34's message and then go to page 19 for finished pictures. Since then, I installed rear curtain, hard doors (interchangeable with the half doors), rear spare tire mount, rear fuel/water can bracket (swing away style). It has been on two road trips with zero...
The funny box was funny looking when naked on the frame but once the truck was finished, it looks awesome! my .02c
As with all my toys, this nice hmmwv can be had for $$$, pm me if any of you are interested.
The parking brake kit allows the rear brake calipers to be the parking brake instead of the rear propellor/driveshaft. New rear calipers are required, spacer block for propellor, new cables, rod and brackets. I may have the majority of these parts for one or two trucks and the parts I don't...
Welcome to SS!
It is my experience that you will always have engine and drive train noise in a hmmwv. My latest build included dynamat on the tunnel (underside) and then factory insulation covering the dynamat. This helps a lot but it is still noisy. On the dog house cover, make sure you...
Welcome back Nick! It looks like another fun trip and I bet Paul missed being there! Good looking buck also.
Sooner or later I need to check out your truck and perhaps bob my XM818.
